Laundry

So, let me just tell you a little bit about my laundry situation. It never ends. It’s always available and if you have taken a break, just know it will always be waiting for you when you return. I am a teeny bit obsessive about doing laundry. I have a way and a method and it works! If you try to do it your way and it works for you, then that is fantastic! I just have my way of doing laundry that might make a few people who live in my house insane. The gentle cycle for your nicer items or delicate items is a thing. The washing machine maker people don’t just put that on there for an extraction to confuse you and make you question your laundry skills. It’s for real. But, you have to know what you’re doing. Only a few pieces and of the same color can be done in the delicate cycle of your laundry, and you have to use woolite. Yes, I know that there are many brands on the market, this is just what I prefer and always does the job.

Now, the one thing that I am absolutely addicted to in a verging on unhealthy way is “laundry crack.” Laundry crack is the absolute best invention ever invented in the history of laundry. Laundry crack is a fabric softener and addictive smelling additive that once you “crack” open the bottle, you’ll never be the same again. DOWNEY is the maker of said laundry crack, but other brands are trying to get on this addictive train. I am absolutely positive that Costco is aware of how addicting this stuff is, because they do this $3 and some cents off sale every few months and I panic. Yes, panic, because I need to get this, because it’s on sale and I use it and what if they stop making it and that is why it is on sale. So, Costco you win! I’m going to buy said laundry crack and when you put one, but not the other smell on sale, then you’re just being mean and not playing fair. I thought I liked the aqua smelling one, but now that the pink smelling one came to be the one on sale, now I’m more partial to the pink one. And, well it’s pink. All things pink have to be amazing. I’ll go down that rabbit hole for you one day.

Folding the laundry is also a very particular pet peeve of mine. Specifically, the towels. Don’t laugh, because I know you all have a way to fold the towels and if you are married or live with your significant other you know they don’t do it like you do, which makes it wrong. I could care less about the sheets, but towels are my thing.

To all the peeps that have read this far, thank you! I am very appreciative of you spending your precious time reading my wonky thoughts. Have a super fantastic day!!!!

Hey there…….

This is my first blog post and today I’ll introduce myself a little bit. My job title is many things, but my fancy college degree is in interior design. I get asked a lot about my degree and how I decided this is what I wanted to do. I was pre-med (3) long years. At 8:00AM on an August morning I went toOrganic Chemistry and realized that this gig wasn’t going to work. All the people in that class were all speaking a language I never had heard of, and were not at all traumatized by this language. So, I knew it was time to do what my inner self knew I was born to do. (I totally got up from my seat and went directly to my advisor’s office and said we have to talk) I think I knew how to decorate and create from the moment I was born. My first doll house with little furniture and little people and little dogs changed dynamics on a weekly and sometimes daily basis. In other words its just in you. I of course learned some fancy stuff in college about how, what and why of design, but actually designing is all about trying out ideas until you get your end result. My full time job is being a mom to my two kids. I survived getting the boy off to college, so I had a little practice. But, kid #2 is a girl, I was about to ride a super crazy ride that is basiclly like riding a vomit rocket at Six Flags. Yep, that is fun. You get to experience al the super high’s and super low’s of being in the same room as a teenager. In all seriousness, I do love what I do and I feel very lucky to be able to live out my best life with my other half.

We live in Texas, and fall is about to arrive and guess what? It is basically summer 2.o! We get super excited when September rolls around and we put out the fall decor and we light pumpkin candles and turn the ac down real low like all in the hopes of telling Mother Nature that we are ready! WE are DONE! Summer was fun, but we’re over it and ready to live out our pumpkin, caramel and cinnamon life. Like Today!

My goal with this blog is to be authentic and real and hopefully let you all know that real life is not always what we dreamed it would be. We just have to embrace our reality and do the best we know how with our little slice of the world we are living in.

The Journey Begins

Thanks for joining me! Southerner! What is that? Well, that’s me. I am based in Dallas, Texas and I began this journey to give insight into what my life looks like in words. I hope that through my authenticity we can both learn, grow and become the most real version of ourselves.
